You scrolled back through my timeline past multiple posts providing said context of novel and author and liked and rt'ed this with no issue. Apologize for conflating me with nazis or delete like a coward. Do one or the other

Wow what if the quotation marks were the indication that is from the perspective of a dullard fictional character and you're the dullard who didn't catch that?

Is the Springsteen movie brave enough to mention Born In the USA's origins in the movie Light of Day? Will we see Stavros Halkias as Paul Schrader?

Pynchon's great talent for picking the right cherries in his locations incredible as always. People orient their geography along "the lake," the weird uncle's sport peppers & canned pineapple casserole while he doesn't touch his sauerkraut, Aragon noted as Whites Only, Chicago the unseen big brother

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

INTERVIEW OF

11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible
12 operations?
13
A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I
14
set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did
15
was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible
16
program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named
17|
Professor
I. I did that through a mutual friend
18
of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a
20
submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the
21
Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was
22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

One thing I keep thinking about is the streaming ecosystems have realized it's not enough to make, say, a "horror" channel, you need a trusted brand from before. Shudder and Joe Bob Briggs, etc. The Cryptkeeper is perfect for this, and yet...

Kevin Tighe's casting in One Battle After Another is clearly inspired by Matawan, which is so underrated I can't even find a good YouTube clip so uh, go watch Matewan

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

Matt Cameron @mattcameron.bsky.social · 21d

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

One thing I keep thinking about with OBAA is the final tabulation of characters who sacrificed themselves as comrades for a 2-person happy ending. At least 4 go to jail, one dies, and do you count all the nuns? Beautiful

Diamonds Are Forever is a clear-eyed look at the sweaty, grimy dark heart of America. The circus themed casino with a racist stage show. The elephant trained to gamble on camera. The same make, model, and color van from Texas Chain Saw Massacre is in there. Howard Hughes hovers over all.
